I have a fresh install of Slackware 13 64 bit, that all I have basically done is installed wireless with my desired encryption/security posted here:
set up Apache with 2 Virtual Hosts (added 2 hosts to the /etc/hosts file and the Windows C:\Windows\System32\Driver\etc\hosts) Mysql and samba and changed the boot manager from Lilo to Grub2. Now if I set up an alias to my wireless device I get the following error:

SIOCSIFFLAGS can not assign requested address

and it doesn't bring up the wlan0 device at all (normal one or the alias). BUT if I wait till it finishes booting and then issue:
Quote:
sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.200 up
sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0:1 192.168.1.201 up
|
and check ifconfig and iwconfig and the error logs it brings them up with no errors. Also if I assign the alias in /etc/rc.d/rc.local it brings it up on boot with NO errors, what am I doing wrong in the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file that it errors out on boot but I can do it from command line or the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and it works perfectly? Only other thing I did was edit the start section of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 so that it loads in the background and I get a faster boot time.
